Authenticate Payer
Request to authenticate a payer, i.e. verify the identity of a cardholder. You can subsequently use the resulting authentication data when submitting a financial transaction request to prove that you have performed payer authentication.
You must first invoke the Initiate Authentication operation and where the response indicates that payer authentication is available, you must then invoke the Authenticate Payer operation with the same orderId and transactionId submitted on the Initiate Authentication operation.
To increase the likelihood of the authentication being successful, provide as much information about the payer and the transaction as possible.
If the information in the request is sufficient to allow the authentication scheme to confirm the payer's identity the response will include the authentication data (frictionless flow). Alternatively (challenge flow), it may be necessary for the payer to interact with the authentication scheme to confirm their identity (e.g. by providing a one-time password sent to them by their card issuer). In this case the response will contain an HTML excerpt that you must inject into your page. This will establish the interaction between the payer and the authentication scheme. After authentication has been completed the payer will be redirected back to your website using the URL provided by you in field authentication.redirectResponseUrl in the Authenticate Payer request.
If you are authenticating the payer when establishing a payment agreement with your payer for a series of recurring, installment or unscheduled payments you must provide details about the agreement in the agreement parameter group.
Usage Note
Using the Initiate Authenticate and Authenticate Payer operations for 3-D Secure authentication requires you to manage a variety of authentication flows and understand the 3-D Secure version 2 data flows as published by EMVCo.
A more simple alternatively is to use the gateway's threeDS.js library.

This value is only applicable to subsequent transactions on the order. In this case, the payer is not present and cannot participate in an authentication interaction. The payer must be authenticated during the first transaction that established the agreement.

The details describing the source of the funds to be used.
For card payments these may be represented by combining one or more of the following: explicitly provided card details, a session identifier which the gateway will use to look up the card details and/or a card token. Precedence rules will be applied in that explicitly provided card details will override session card details which will override card token details. Each of these may represent partial card details, however the combination must result in a full and complete set of card details. See Using Multiple Sources of Card Details for examples.
Information about the source of funds when it is directly provided (as opposed to via a token or session).
For browser payments, the source of funds details are usually collected from the payer on the payment provider's website and provided to you when you retrieve the transaction details (for a successful transaction). However, for some payment types (such as giropay), you must collect the information from the payer and supply it here.
Details about the card.
Use this parameter group when you have sourced payment details using:
Cards: the card details entered directly or collected using a Point of Sale (POS) terminal.

An example of a payer authentication UI is the redirection of the payer's browser to the issuer's Access Control Server (ACS) for 3-D Secure authentication. The gateway supports two models:
- SIMPLE: The gateway gives you content (HTML and JavaScript) to put on your payment page, and that automatically triggers the authentication user experience.
- CUSTOMIZED: The gateway gives you the raw parameters for the authentication method, and you create the required user experience yourself.
If you selected the SIMPLE case, the gateway will provide the authenticationRedirect data, even if your authentication system does not require it. This lets you have a single flow through your code for all authentication cases.

By performing payer authentication for that card, and recording that against the secured login, it is possible to achieve a frictionless payer authentication flow for future transactions by showing that they have securely logged in to the merchant using that account. To demonstrate this, you should provide the customer.account.authentication.data, customer.account.authentication.method and customer.account.authentication.time fields.

This group is an encrypted JSON object containing authentication data obtained during the authentication process.
You can ignore this group if you are making a subsequent payment or Verify operation with the gateway, instead just rely on the response.gatewayRecommendation field.
However this group is applicable if:
- you want to use 3-D Secure authentication data obtained to process the payment via another channel
- you want to interpret some details of the 3-D Secure authentication response.
The decryption will yield a JSON object which will contain a subset of the following fields.
- authentication.3ds.authenticationToken
- authentication.3ds.acsEci
- authentication.3ds.transactionId
- authentication.3ds2.statusReasonCode
- authentication.3ds2.transactionStatus
